DASH Highly Prone to a 51% Attack

A recent thread on Reddit triggered a debate on whether DASH was secure from a 51% attack. According to the proponent, there are a number of facts that showed it was possible to carry out such an attack before the platform could implement their chainlocks.

The proponent stated that it was possible for someone to rent out hash power from NiceHash to carry out an attack on DASH as we speak.

It seems that 51% attacks are a hot topic amongst the crypto community right now with many worried whether most coins were safe from such malice.
